The coaching series is BACK and this week we’re delighted to welcome in, Boston Celtics Head Coach, Joe Mazzulla. Joe was gracious enough to give us an hour of his time to cover all sorts of things. So without further ado, let’s get into it.
Topics include: JJ’s thoughts on the tier 1 teams in The NBA including The Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and more, then Joe joins us to talk through his sudden rise to becoming head coach of The Celtics, his recruitment of JJ to join his coaching staff, what he did to lead his team through the firing of Ime Udoka last season, how an introvert handles being a head coach, his D2 coaching journey and how he broke into the NBA, learning from his mistakes and building relationships with players, what he learned about last NBA season, his strategy of not calling timeouts at pivotal moments last season, teaching Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, integrating Kristaps Porzingis into the offense, reacting to The Milwaukee Bucks having both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, his mindset heading into this upcoming NBA season and what he learned from his father and how he applies it to coaching.

Threes & Defense equals Banner 18 2024 for sure.
JJ is the goat for this one. Mazzulla is great haha
I was hoping JJ would be added to the Celtics staff earlier. That’s crazy they were talking about before.
As a BOSTON Celtic Fan I just really wish JJ joined Jo's Coaching Staff, hopefully one day soon when he is done coaching his son!
Not really a Celtics fan, but a lifelong WVU fan. Wish nothing but the best for him.
WE LOVE JOE LETS GET THIS BANNER 18 🍀
as a Celtics fan.. he’s giving me Paul Westhead vibes
Lol what a bad timing for the interview
Bruh the guy doesnr call timeouts at thr end of games. Hes hard-boneheaded
Really good interview gives a good look into the mindset of Coach Mazzulla.
I think we missed out big time on lebron and JJ pairing up…skillset and IQs would’ve unlocked JJ
Counting every time JJ says "uuh" in the intro
Bra I go to fairmont st😂😂😂
I really longed for thoughts on Jrue
I come here for JJ. Not Legler or the dunkers spot.
Starts at 9:05
Brad Stevens owes you an interview for the timing of the Holiday trade. 😂
Great talk guys
Do you have plans to interview Brad Stevens? Would be Awesome
He reminds me of Mike McDaniels: clear communicator, intelligent, funny, and a bit of a odd guy, but odd in a way that shows confidence in and comfort with who they are and what they believe in.
I think JJ is doing these because in 2 years or less he will be an NBA coach or front office man.
What is curved ball?
Ohh darn, talking about a difficult situation. Life didn't really do Jo any favors in being a first time head coach last year! #RIPJo'sDad
I’m sorry but the “Tobias Harris was a very black and white person” line has me rolling rn 🤣
Shout out from the 401 providence RI
This guy was so misunderstood last season, this interview just made him my favorite HC. What an awesome interview JJ.
#GODUKE
Loved this one especially the last topic. "Figure it out". And I think the Celtics will finally do this season
